Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific
Since 2012, the Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific (COSPPac) has worked with National Meteorological and Hydrological Services and Land and Survey Departments across the Pacific to develop the data, tools, products and skills needed to improve climate and ocean services.
We partner with fifteen Pacific Island countries: the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Niue, Naoero, Papua New Guinea, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tokelau, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
